Hey guys and gals,

Let me start by saying I am not a complete idiot in computers, but I dont know nearly enough about them for Gaming and Streaming specifically. I apologize if these are basic questions.

Basically I want to improve performance of my games and stream but I dont know where to begin.

1. How do you personally set your computers for gaming? More specifically, what settings are good Do's and Don't's for improving performance?

2. Do you use any additional software or anything designed to improve anything? (Nvidia Gforce)

3. What do you typically do for improved Framerates?

4. Do you run specific scan programs or antivirus that helps for gaming?

I only ask what I could be doing extra because a friend of mine can run games much smoother on his computer than I can on mine. This is a problem because we have almost the exact same computer. In fact, his is older and not as upgraded as mine. He runs a 670 GTX with less RAM. We have the same CPU, and same motherboard.

I have 16G of RAM, a GTX970 super superclocked (SSC), i5 processor, 1T SSD and 1T hhd. I play on 2 - 1920x1080 monitors. To top it all off I have roughly 50-55Mbps internet with 5-15 Mbps upload and a ping of 10-20.

I use nvidia for optimization of my games, however I tend to adjust settings more once in the game.

Streaming can only happen on some games. (But I assume that also has to do with the stream settings as well)

-So to sum up or TL;DR - what should I be doing to make sure my PC is running at tip top shape for gaming and streaming? What do you guys and gals do?
